Pleq/Hiroki Sasajima/Spheruleus ~ Time & Language
An electronic expert, a field recording specialist and an acoustic troubadour walk into a bar. They buy a few drinks, socialize, and begin to play. There’s no punchline, but the patrons clap. This is essentially what happens on Time & Language,

Fescal ~ Alchemical Wanderings
Alchemical Wanderings arrives in a mysteriously shaded bag and is accompanied by a tube of miscellaneous metals, befitting its title. Gold flecks have been mixed in, perhaps some pyrite and copper. Warning to children: Do Not Eat. This mysterious air extends

Nuojuva ~ Valot Kaukaa
Ous Mal is dead, came the announcement. So soon? We’d barely got to know each other and now, now, it’s all over? Perhaps some things were never meant to be… Or perhaps, Ous Mal was merely the first stage, for

Spheruleus ~ Dissolve
Many recordings are born of inspiration, but Dissolve was born of a lack of inspiration, which is not to say that it isn’t inspired. This two-track outing from Harry Towell (Spheruleus) was birthed as severe writer’s block led him to imagine a richer physical environment

Pascal Savy ~ Receding
When is a piano EP not a piano EP? When the piano is recorded, then partially removed, leaving an “empty shell” where the notes one shuddered. The recording operates as a sonic illusion, as the notes heard are not fully there.

Celer ~ Evaporate and Wonder
Evaporate and Wonder is an ember of an ember, an echo of an echo, a ghost of a ghost, barely there yet fully present. This slowly meditative pair of tracks has all the power of a leaf floating down a lazy

Musette ~ Drape Me In Velvet
There’s a twinkle in Joel Danell‘s eyes as he stares from the album cover ~ or perhaps his eyes have been replaced by tiny full moons. When listening to Drape Me In Velvet, one gains the impression that the second scenario is

Lost Trail ~ October Mountain
October Mountain is the sibling of A Stained August for the Jetcrash, a cassette released simultaneously on a second label. (What happened to September?) When one leans forward, ear to speaker, to hear a southern man discussing wasted lives, it’s with the
